The Nameless of the Common Clans

In Xingyang, it is the time of early spring when everything comes to life.

Xu Rong felt quite regretful that he had just defeated Cao Cao's 5,000 troops from the bank of Bian River and returned victoriously, but he was unable to keep Cao Cao behind.

"General, there is an envoy sent by Guang Luxun to see you!" Xu Rong was checking the defense and food supplies when he saw a personal attendant coming in a hurry and bowed to Xu Rong.

"Guang Luxun? Chen Mo?" Xu Rong said in surprise: "Why is he here?"

He didn't seem to have any friendship with this Guang Luxun. After thinking about it, Xu Rong nodded and said, "Let him in."

Although he had no friendship, Chen Mo was mostly kind to people in Luoyang and had good relations with Lu Bu, Hua Xiong and others. Although he didn't know why the other party's envoy came here, he still wanted to meet him.

After a while, a veteran soldier came in quickly. When he saw Xu Rong, he bowed down and said, "I'm sorry to see you, General!"

"He is a good soldier." Xu Rong looked at the soldier, nodded and smiled: "Why did Guang Luxun ask you to come here?"

"Go back to the general, my general is in the Songshan area." The general Chen Mo was ordered to go to Yingchuan to investigate, but he was almost stopped. Yuan Shu sent Sun Jian to arrest Chen Mo and told him: "Now my general has laid suspicion and lured him. Then Sun Jian came to Xingyang and wanted to ask the general to send troops to attack Sun Jian and destroy his spirit!"

"I don't think Guang Luxun is young, but he has the air of a general." Xu Rong heard the praise, but what he admired more in his heart was Chen Mo's cruelty. Yuan Shu sent troops to rob him, and when there were only fifty people around him, It was lucky to escape with his life. After Chen Mo calmly avoided the opponent's pursuit, he even wanted to bite the opponent. This may seem too violent to others, but it is indeed natural for soldiers like Xu Rong. matter.

Especially this opponent is Sun Jian, who is known as the Jiangdong Tiger, but he has no fear at all, which Xu Rong admires quite a lot.

"Tell your general that I will repel Sun Jian. Whether or not he can be completely defeated depends on your general's ability." Xu Rong said with a smile.

He was confident of defeating Sun Jian, but if the opponent wanted to escape, in this Central Plains land, Xu Rong would not be able to completely kill the opponent no matter how powerful he was. However, it could not be done here. If Sun Jian wanted to retreat, he would definitely have to go to the Songshan area. , but Chen Mo has a chance.

"Here!" The soldier bowed and said, "Bizhi will go right away. In addition, Sun Jian has been chasing all the way here. Beizi is faster on horseback, but Sun Jian is only a day's journey away from here at most. He has about a thousand troops. , I hope the general will prepare early."

"Go." Xu Rong nodded, indicating that he knew.

"General, do we really want to send troops?" After the general left, a captain looked at Xu Rong and said: "The coalition of princes is nearby. If the other party takes advantage of the opportunity to attack..."

"Ha~" Xu Rong heard this and sneered disdainfully: "If they had such courage, it would not have been just Cao Cao's troops that I defeated the day before yesterday. By the time they decided to attack Xingyang, Sun Jian's heads might have been sent to Luoyang. !”

After the princes formed an alliance with Jujube, they had no intention of making any progress. Based on the information they gathered, it turned out that the other party was drinking and having fun all day long in the Jujube area, and the camp layout was quite scattered. If not for the lack of troops and the obstruction of the river, Xu Rong I really want to kill and capture a few princes.

"Pass my military order and order three thousand soldiers and horses to go out with me!" Xu Rong hung his sword on his waist and said loudly.

"Here!"

…

Outside Xingyang City, there is still the bank of Bian River.

"Hello~" Sun Jian looked at the messy battlefield ahead and reined in his horse.

"Lord!" Huang Gai galloped towards Sun Jian, bowed his hands in front of Sun Jian and said, "Looking at the situation, there was a battle between the Xiliang army and our army here, and it seems that our army was defeated."

Sun Jian nodded and said: "This place is close to Xingyang, why is there only this battlefield? The leader of the alliance did not send troops?"

The generals didn't know if Yuan Shao had sent troops, but along the way, this was the first time they saw traces of fighting between the two sides. It seemed that Suizao's side had indeed not sent troops.

"Lord, this is close to Xingyang. I'm afraid Chen Mo has already fled back to Xingyang. It's useless for us to pursue him. Why don't we retreat to Luyang as soon as possible and return to Yuan Gong?" Zu Mao stepped forward and bowed to Sun Jian.

"Forget it!" Sun Jian sighed, looked at the corpses around him and said, "Let these corpses be buried on the spot. After all, they are our soldiers. Don't let them be exposed in the wilderness like this."

Although I don’t know why Yuan Shu is so obsessed with catching Chen Mo, judging from the current situation, it is obviously impossible. No matter how confident Sun Jian is, he cannot kill Xingyang City with more than a thousand men. After going back and explaining to Yuan Shu, he advised Yuan Shu to directly attack Yique Pass and enter Luoyang.

How could a mere Chen Mo be as important as conquering Luoyang?

"Here!" everyone agreed and began to dig pits by the river to bury the soldiers.

"Report!" Not long after, the scout who was responsible for guarding outside suddenly came to report in a hurry. He saluted Sun Jian and said: "My lord, there are a large number of Xiliang soldiers and horses in the direction of Xingyang, and they are coming this way."

"Oh?" Sun Jian was not surprised but overjoyed when he heard this: "How many people are there?"

"About two thousand people!" the scout said uncertainly.

One thousand versus two thousand?

Sun Jian thought about it in his mind and said: "Inform all the soldiers to prepare to meet the enemy!"

He couldn't attack Xingyang City, but if the opponent came out of the city to fight, even if there were many people, Sun Jian would not be afraid at all.

"My lord, they must be the reinforcements that Chen Mo invited after returning to the city!" Huang Gai said with a smile. A group of soldiers had followed Sun Jian through life and death for many years. They often did this kind of drama of defeating more with less, so even if they knew the other party There are many people, but they dare to fight as long as they dare to leave the city.

"The little thief is ignorant and has never heard of the name Jiangdong Tiger!" Zu Mao said with a smile.

"Don't underestimate the enemy. Although Chen Mo is young, he is quite thoughtful and has been successful in attacking thieves." Sun Jian got on his horse and said, "But in this battle, the opponents are not all yellow turban thieves. Today, the Japanese general will Teach him how to fight!"

All the generals burst into laughter when they heard this. No wonder they despised Chen Mo. After all, he was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy. Even though he had some real talent and knowledge and had won two battles, it was just a crusade against the Yellow Turban bandits. The real battlefield, I'm afraid, I have never seen them before, but these are almost all veterans who have fought in the north and south, and have been killed one after another. Don't look at the small number of people, but when they really go to the battlefield to fight, it is not necessarily crazy to say that a thousand people can defeat ten thousand people.

Everyone organized their troops to prepare for war. After a while, Xu Rong led 3,000 soldiers and horses to attack.

The number was more than expected, but Sun Jian was not afraid. Seeing the opponent's flag appear, he waved his hand, and the archers shot out from both wings like a pair of wings. They fired a hail of arrows at the enemy formation. At the same time, Sun Jian Already leading men and horses to launch a charge.

"What a fierce tiger!" Before Xu Rong could gain a firm foothold, he was stopped by a hail of arrows from the opponent. Seeing that Sun Jian had launched a charge, seeing the momentum, he couldn't help but secretly praise Sun Jian for his bravery.

However, the Xiliang army had been fighting for many years and had never been afraid of anyone. Now, under the command of Xu Rong, they attacked with an attack. At the same time, they ordered two thousand-man troops to outflank Sun Jian's troops from both sides, preparing to encircle Sun Jian's troops.

As soon as the two sides fought, Sun Jian realized that something was wrong. This group of troops was obviously elite, and he would not be at a disadvantage in fighting with them. And the commander of the other side was not reckless. He had already begun to encircle him by taking advantage of his military superiority. If the opponent really succeeded in encircling him, I'm afraid I have to explain it here today.

"Breakout!" After discovering that something was wrong, Sun Jian also lost the intention to continue fighting with the opponent. Among elites of the same level, Sun Jian did not have the confidence to win with less, so he immediately ordered his people to prepare to break out from the flank.

Xu Rong naturally saw Sun Jian's intention, and kept ordering the flag bearers to change their orders and shrink their wings, hoping to completely swallow up Sun Jian's men.

Sun Jian found that every time he changed the direction of his breakout, the opponent would always make quick changes to respond, making it difficult for him to break out. He secretly resented that he had met his opponent this time. The opponent's ability was not inferior to his, but his military strength was not. He is three times as powerful as himself. He should not have rashly fought with the other party earlier.

It's just that it's too late to say anything at this time. The most important thing now is to break through.

The two sides were entangled and fighting on the banks of the Bian River. Although Xu Rong was determined to win, it was quite difficult to completely retain Sun Jian. By the afternoon of the fighting, the losses of the Xiliang army were also increasing. If it continued like this , even if he could swallow up Sun Jian's men, he would suffer heavy losses.

At the moment, he relaxed a little and allowed Sun Jian to successfully break out of the encirclement. Then he ordered the cavalry to chase him behind him, while Xu Rong led his army to cover him up.

Sun Jian knew that Xu Rong did this because he wanted to kill his soldiers more effectively, but he was unable to do anything. He could only run away with his soldiers, but the number of people around him was decreasing.

"Fight with them!" Seeing the opponent chasing after him, Sun Jian fought in the north and south. When had he been chased and killed like this before, he felt cruel and wanted to turn around and fight the opponent desperately.

Zu Mao and Huang Gai on the side quickly stopped Sun Jian and said: "Master, no, if we turn around and fight again now, our army's morale has been lost and we will definitely die!"

Although Sun Jian's men are all elite, they have lost more than half and have begun to flee long ago. Not many of them are still around now. I am afraid these people are not willing to fight again at this moment. The defeat is certain, and they can only run for their lives at this time. ,

"Then let these Xiliang rebels chase and fight?" Sun Jian glared. When had he ever suffered such humiliation in his entire life?

"Lord, I'm sorry!" Zu Mao watched as the cavalry from behind came up to kill him again, took off the red turban from Sun Jian's head, tied it to his own head and said, "The general will lead his troops to divert the pursuers, and protect the lord in his escape! \

,""Da Rong, how can I put you in danger?" Sun Jian frowned.

"Don't worry, my lord, the bandit army may not be able to kill me!" Zu Mao laughed loudly. After saying that, before Sun Jian could reply, he had already led a group of troops and galloped away in the other direction.

"Lord, leave quickly!" Seeing that Sun Jian refused to leave, Huang Gai quickly kicked Sun Jian's horse, then rode his horse and galloped away with the remaining dozen or so guards, and quickly disappeared into the night.
